Nvidia driver on virtual box (Ubuntu 18.04)

My machine (Windows Host) has an NVIDIA driver GeForce GTX1060.

I have created a Virtual Box with a VM having Ubuntu 18.04 OS.

When checking the device drivers, this is the output I get:

ubuntu-drivers devices
== /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:04.0 ==
modalias : pci:v000080EEd0000CAFEsv00000000sd00000000bc08sc80i00

I am trying to use TMIXT provided as a github on https://github.com/fadymedhat/TMIXT and an Nvidia driver is required. Is it possible to install on virtual box? Does the VM have access to Nvidia? Where can I find installation instructions for my case?

Solution 1:

If an OS is running in a virtual machine then the graphics driver for the guest OS is virtual too. You cannot install or use an Nvidia graphics driver in a guest OS in either VirtualBox or VMware.
